Mustafi has become public enemy no.1 at the Emirates in recent times, with fans even booing the player after he was bought on against Lyons in the Emirates Cup yesterday.

According to L’Equipe, as translated and re-reported by Goal, Monaco has made contact with Arsenal concerning Mustafi, a player who the Gunners value at £27M (€30M).

The report additionally notes that Monaco will now choose between whether or not they’re going to make a move for the defender or not ahead of next month’s deadline.

And if Arsenal fans’ opinion of the player is anything to go off, we can guarantee that they’ll be wanting Monaco to sign him up as shortly as possible!

Mustafi has been bang average for the Gunners ever since he joined the club from Valencia in the summer of 2016, and we’re certain Arsenal fans are glad to see the back of him should he join Monaco soon.

On the other hand, Unai emery doesn’t precisely have a wealth of choices to choose from at centre-back ahead of the new season, thus we’re certain some fans wouldn’t be shocked to see him stay in north London just so Arsenal aren’t left short-handed at the back this term.
